It must be so easy that Rocinante had to post a 37*29 pixel size 3 coloured screenshot segment :D

I remember a billion games that had used that exact grey along with that black, and all of them are so old that my memory hardly can distinghuish them from each other anymore... I played those when I was in kindergarden :D (or maybe just the screener is misleading and the actual game is not from the 16 colour era :P )

Tycho, I don't think it's quite that old, and there's more colors than those.. I just chose one of the items which becomes a pain in the game, and therefore might be recognizable. 

No, it's not DirectX, it's a console game.  Fairly old, but not atari800 old :>

Edit: Side-note resolved - nothing to see here, move along now :P

Could it be the original Grand Theft Auto? The map part maybe?

If I'm reading the right dates for GTA's releases, this was almost a decade before that.

Not Lemmings either (I'm not sure if a version existed for this console).  Next shot:

The name is more simple, it consist of one word! (and sorry, the year is 1986 it seems, started the game and it said 83 >_>)

The game has no save function, which can be annoying as it is kinda ultra-hard.

Everyone knows Fantasy World Dizzy, a.k.a. the best game ever.

It is indeed Fantasy World Dizzy.
And i thought it was obscure. ._.
Had that on my old computer as a kid, though the game itself precedes my birth by many years, we had a shitty computer. :p
I actually remember the box and box-art pictured on wikipedia. :p
